3 of the biggest WWE disappointments in 2018

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura won the US title, but barely defended it

Shinsuke Nakamura is a solid in-ring worker, and has undeniable charisma. He is a talented individual who has dominated every sport he has entered, and he is rightly called 'The King of Strong Style', however his main roster run has reduced him to nothing more than just an 'Artist'. He has had an abysmal run on the main roster, and 2018 wasn't Nakamura's greatest year.

Nakamura won the Royal Rumble this year to set up a dream showdown with AJ Styles at WrestleMania. Many expected Nakamura to win the title, but Nakamura came up short in what was an underwhelming match.

He turned heel after the match, and repeatedly hit AJ Styles with a low blow over the next few weeks. He resorted to low-blows every time he was in a high stakes match, but he still couldn't win the title from Styles. This is the same guy who could knock you out with any one of his strikes.

In July, he won the US title with the help of a low blow. This signaled a change of fortunes, but he was reduced to a paper champion, as he was seldom used on television, and played second fiddle to the blue brand's top stars.

Low blows have tarnished his aura, his US title reign was forgettable, and Nakamura is now just another guy in the WWE locker room.
